Hello one and all and welcome to the time of the edition we have come to delight or dread. An Eldar Codex.
I am joined by revered Aeldari specialist Quinton Johnson to assist in reviewing the first 4 detachments (of freaking 8) and a bunch of notable datasheets that he and I think you all need to know about!
Now some (me) think this codex will become a problem but Quinton has played a bunch of games and is here to level out my hot takes and bring us the voice of level headed wisdom.
Hope you enjoy!

Here it is! Jawn Lennon and I review this pretty dynamic new codex cover to cover!
This book strikes a nice internal balance between a few real fun and strong ways to play without anything slapping you in the face as obviously the best way to play, which we think is perfect. You really can't go wrong if you go all in on any of these detachments.
Hope you enjoy!
